50. Cool Whip

Let's finish off with another completely obvious terrible food. Cool Whip, marketed as a whipped cream-like product, barely even contains any dairy. It is mostly composed of hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, chemical additives and preservatives, and a bit of skim milk and water. If you're wondering how they manage to make it taste so good, it's the many grams of high fructose corn syrup that has completely taken over.

We already know how bad hydrogenated oils are and how they can increase your risk of contracting cancer, but Cool Whip can do so much worse. One of the many synthetic additives in Cool Whip, sorbitan monostearate, has been found to enlarge the kidneys of mice. Yikes. For a creamy addition to your dessert, why not use full fat Greek yoghurt or fresh whipped cream instead?
